The detachment from reality is escalating. As if that even seemed possible.
Wisconsin stand on its own?
Not likely.
The important part of this story is the reflection of the mindset of this tribe. Now to be denominated as Trumpers, its underlying philosophy Trumpism.

Trumpism is a philosophy that is rooted in a severe detachment from reality.
From its founder, and his megalomaniacal, solipsistic understanding of the world as his servant, and his own magnificence as the standard of excellence.

Whether Generals who did not understand the Middle Eastern issues; Scientists who did not understand how to drink lysol to combat COVID, or the boggling incompetence at organizing the medical and logistical support and system required to combat COVID. And Etc....
All summarized in the absurdity "I alone understand the system. I alone can fix it...".
Trumpism is based upon insurmountable, self-certain ignorance which requires authority, not truth, to enforce.
This is just one of the profound self deceptions required of Trumpism.

The confounding inability to grasp any complex reality that isn't in the realm of the few things that Trump does master: demagoguery and how to hook into a crowd. (and as needed, shape them into a mob).

This detachment from reality is what enables people, like this, to
propose succession as a serious proposal. Just on the face of it, it is an emotional reaction, not a reasoned, rational contemplation and proposition. At root it exemplifies another tenent of Trumpism: "My way or nothing. And nothing is not an option". Which leads to childish

Such people are easily led. Another requirement of Trumpism, as a church. The enemies are defined. Primarily as anyone not us. Everyone else is to be minimized. When it merges with more pernicious doctrines, such as fascism, & is coupled with power it will easily, naturally
resort to violence to enforce its will.
In short: The states are not going to succeed. It is an adolescent tantrum to say so. When the crying stops, and reality reasserts itself, we can talk.
Hopefully.
